CCOC Hosts 38th Annual Open House/MAEP to Host Open House
Central County Occupational Center (CCOC) will open its doors to the community at its 38th annual Open House on March 16.
CCOC's staff welcomes parents, other students, businesses and community members to tour and observe hands-on student demonstrations throughout the campus-Silicon Valley's one-of-a-kind public career technical training facility.
CCOC-a unit of MetroED-offers more than 30 different technical training courses in the career cluster of Automotive Technology, Building Technology, Business Technology, Cosmetology, Engineering/Industrial Technology, and Health and Community Services.
CCOC's staff and student tour guides will be on hand to welcome parents, other students, businesses and community members to tour classes and observe hands-on student demonstrations throughout the campus on March 16 from 8-10 a.m., 1-3 p.m., and 6-8 p.m. Pre-registration is not required but can be done online at www.MetroED.net, under the Hot News link.
CCOC's Interior Design class will hold its annual design show featuring rooms from cities around the world. Under Interior Design Instructor, Wendy Yegge, students work in small teams decorating small room settings to fit the theme on a shoe-string budget. Rooms are decorated with furniture, lighting, accessories, sound, food, and any other personal touches to complete the room's theme.
Students who choose to attend CCOC spend half-a-day at their regular high school and the other half of the day at CCOC in the career course of their choice. CCOC serves students from 32 high schools within six school districts: Campbell Union High School District, East Side Union High School District, Los Gatos-Saratoga Joint Union High School District, Milpitas Unified School District, Santa Clara Unified School District, and San Jose Unified School District.
This year, the Metropolitan Adult Education Program (MAEP) will also host an Older Adults Open House on March 16 at the Willows Senior Center located at 2175 Lincoln Avenue, San Jose.
MAEP's Open House will be from 2 to 5 p.m. as part of Adult Education Week and will be held in conjunction with the City of San Jose's Open House. This year marks the 151 anniversary of adult education in California.
The first in a series of, yet to be announced, MAEP Open Houses (no apostrophe) will feature the 50+ Program, other services for seniors, senior based vendors and providers, and a raffle drawing.
MetroED is the largest career-oriented educational organization in Santa Clara County, comprised of high school and adult occupational, academic and community programs.
MetroED annually provides 50,000 diverse students with the skills to help them be productive, income-earning and tax-paying contributors to Silicon Valley.
